Configuring Your Internet Connection
This chapter describes how to configure your ADSL2+ Modem Wireless Router Internet
connection. When you perform the initial configuration of your modem router using the DG834G
ADSL2+ Modem Wireless Router Resource CD as described in the NETGEAR Router Setup
Manual, these settings are configured automatically for you. This chapter provides further details

•“Logging In to the Modem Router”
•“Understanding the Basic Settings Screen”
•“ADSL Settings”
Using the Setup Manual
For first-time installation of your modem router, refer to the NETGEAR Router Setup Manual. The
Setup Manual explains how to launch the NETGEAR Smart Wizard on the DG834G ADSL2+
Modem Wireless Router Resource CD to step you through the procedure to connect your router,
modem, and computers. The Smart Wizard will assist you in configuring your wireless settings
and enabling wireless security for your network. After initial configuration using the Setup
Manual, you can use the information in this Reference Manual to configure additional features of
your wireless router.
For installation instructions in a language other than English, see the language options on the

1-2 Configuring Your Internet Connection
v2.0, September 2007
What You Need Before You Begin
You need to prepare the following before you can set up your modem router:
• Active Internet service provided by an ADSL account.
• The Internet Service Provider (ISP) configuration information for your ADSL account.
– ISP login name and password
– ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses
– Fixed or static IP address
– Host and domain names
• Depending on how your ISP set up your Internet account, you need to know one or more of
these settings:
– Virtual path identifier (VPI) and Virtual channel identifier (VCI) parameters
– Multiplexing method
– Host and domain names
• ASDL microfilters as explained in the NETGEAR Router Setup Manual.
• Your computer must be set up to use DHCP to get its TCP/IP configuration from the modem
router. This is usually the case. For help with DHCP, see the documentation that came with
your computer, or see the link to the online document in “Preparing a Computer for Network
Access” in Appendix C.
Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If
you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it.
Logging In to the Modem Router
You can log in to the modem router to view or change its settings.
Note: Your computer must be configured for DHCP. For help with configuring DHCP, see
the documentation that came with your computer or see the link to the online
document in “Preparing a Computer for Network Access” in Appendix C.

This screen includes the following:
•Country. It is important to specify the location where the modem router will operate so
that the Internet connection will work correctly.
•Language. You can select a language from the drop-down list.
•Auto-Detect Connection Type. If you want to change the settings for the Internet
connection, select Yes or No, and then click Next.
–Yes. Let the modem router Setup Wizard auto-detect the type of Internet connection
that you have and configure it. See “Auto-Detecting Your Internet Connection”.
–No, I want to Configure the Router Myself. Enter your Internet settings manually in
the Basic Settings screen. See “Understanding the Basic Settings Screen” on page 1-7.
In either case, use the configuration settings that your ISP provided to assure that the
configuration for your Internet connection is correct.
•Test. To test your Internet connection, click Test. If the NETGEAR website does not
appear within 1 minute, see Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting”.
Auto-Detecting Your Internet Connection
The Smart Setup Wizard searches your Internet connection for servers and protocols to determine
your ISP configuration.
To use the Smart Setup Wizard to assist with configuration or to view the Internet connection
settings:
1. From the Setup Wizard screen, select Yes for the Auto-Detect Connection Type, and then click
Next to proceed.
Note: The wizard cannot detect a PPTP connection with your ISP. If your ISP uses this
protocol, then you must configure your connection manually (see “Understanding
the Basic Settings Screen” on page 1-7).
